When someone shows you who they really are, don't try to paint a new picture....

Ain't that the truth? 

Why is it that we don't believe it when they TELL you who they are either? Some people come right out and say that they are the wrong people for us, and we giggle and say, "Oh no, you're perfect." 

Why are we trying so hard to keep someone that is doing their best to tell us that they are not worth it? Well the answer to that, my dear, is that we feel we are not worth it. We are either trying our hardest to change them into someone we can tolerate, or turning a blind eye to everything they say or do; in order to convince ourselves that someone loves us. Does that paint a pathetic enough picture? 

This is about you, and how you feel about yourself. If you truly loved yourself, you would not tolerate any disrespect, not even from yourself. Trying so hard to make someone right for you, shows that you do not love and/or respect yourself. 

So, place the emphasis on what needs work, your self-respect. Then accept the fact that people are who they are, you cannot change them; BUT if you find yourself wanting to, they are probably not right for you. When you get your act together, you will attract the right people, not before. 

Watch and listen when someone shows or tells you who they are. Get your ego out of the way, wish them well, and show them the door. Then move forward with your life.

Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always.

Be you, and be OK with it.

You have a purpose, a destiny to fulfill. Your life is charted and will proceed as predestined. You WILL complete your journey and do what you are meant to do.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, your life's purpose is even written in your fingerprints....(Jill Broadway-Your Purpose is in Your Hands) So find a way to get out from under all the guilt or fear or whatever is holding you back from taking a risk. Find out what stops you from doing what you want to do, and what you want to be. And then go ahead, everything will end up exactly as it is meant to.

There are no mistakes, only growth-enhancing experiences that amass and contribute to your wholeness. This becomes YOU. If you are working on yourself, that person may change frequently, but you are the only one that can be YOU, in all your many transformations. Don't strive to be perfect, just whole.

Life is about taking chances, putting yourself out there and being all you are here to be. Otherwise, what is the point? Sitting in your own little bubble, safe and secure, will teach you nothing and result in you doing even less. 

Always..... say how you feel, be you and be OK with it.

Take every chance, drop every fear.
